Obinutuzumab in membranous nephropathy: a potential game-changer in treatment.
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a kidney disease characterized by thickening of the glomerular basement membrane due to immune complex deposition, often leading to nephrotic syndrome and potentially progressing to end-stage renal disease. Traditional treatments, including corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents, have significant side-effects and variable efficacy. Recently, obinutuzumab, a fully humanized monoclonal antibody targeting CD20, has emerged as a promising therapeutic option for MN. Herein, we review the pathophysiology of MN, the mechanism of action of obinutuzumab, clinical data supporting its use and highlight its potential as a game changer in MN treatment.
